About your opportunity in the darkness…
Acts 22:15 You will be his witness to all men of what you have seen and
heard. (NIV)
In every darkness, there is an opportunity of some kind. In the present
darkness of this world lies the opportunity to touch the lives and hearts of
millions of people. People are hurting today. People are searching for hope. In
Christ, we have the Great Healer to take away the hurt. In Christ, we have the
Hope of the World to supply the hope. In your daily life, you have an
opportunity to give to others what they desperately want and need. You have the
opportunity to give others hope, healing, and love that transcends all
understanding. You have the opportunity to help heal emotional wounds, to help
assuage the broken heart, to soothe the effects of trauma, and to help erase the
scars left from a person's past. To do these marvelous and miraculous things,
you need no special training or special education of any kind. To do these
marvelous and miraculous things, all that is required is you give your life to
Christ and you let His love flow from you out to others. For we cannot really
heal the emotional hurts and erase the scars from the past ourselves. It is the
Great Healer, it is the Great Physician who can still do and is still doing the
same miracles He did two thousand years ago. You are His ambassador. You are His
representative. In all the small things you do every day, send a message to
everyone you meet and everyone you know. Tell them and show them you love them
without conditions and without limits. When you love others without conditions
and without limits, you fulfill His greatest calling upon your life.
